The textbook first offers information on structural materials and structural action of cables and arches, including statically determinate and indeterminate structures, cable or chain structures, and arches. The book then takes a look at the structural integrity of trusses and beams and other topics, such as collapse; flow of stress; flexur 410 0$aPergamon international library of science, technology, engineering, and social studies. 606 $aStructural engineering 615 0$aStructural engineering. 676 $a624 700 $aFrancis$b A.
